I have had Corsa's too remember, you can make them handle ok but they aren't a patch on the french hatches.

Why don't you just buy a Ford Puma and then we'll all be happy?

Clio 172's are a lovely littlee track car! even totally boggo standard out of the tin!! the money time and effort to make a corsa handle just a well as a clio sport and it will still only be an old rusty corsa at the end of the day. i agree with MWG

Majority or trackdays you go to are full of clio sport, E30, E36 BMW's, Scooy's, EVO's skylines etc....

You see a lot of clio sports on trackdays for a reason! tried and tested there a brillaint track toy! a nice track corsa is good to see fair play to whoever does it. But me personally would rather hve something decent out of the box that dosent want paying with all that much.
